What a wonderful poem Lea! I love the “odor of darkness”! Ive never seen it like that before. Ans then the ending! Well, I simply looked at my envelope of sunshine crammed full of wonderful light, all spilling from the beautiful card, which I havent had time to acknowledge fully as all the family have been here for aweek. They have just left and the house feels too empty, but I have my sunshine card. Thank you so much.

Oh I have! 🙂 It has been Spring here for nearly two weeks and more predicted! 🙂
Darkness does seem to have a bad reputation. There is the darkness of ignorance or abuse but there is also the darkness that allows bulbs and seeds to take root and grow! 🙂

Growing up in the darkest of dark, I learned to make friends with it. I know its names, sounds, smells and colors. Yet, I moved into the sunshine and delight in it. However, the night is now an old friend.
